For those not in the know, Brandon Sanders returns to Savant Records, and his new recording is something to get excited about. After turning critics’ heads with two previous recordings, Brandon is stepping it up with his new project that’s all energy and heart. Part of the buzz comes from the stellar lineup.

Joining the session is pianist Eric Scott Reed, certainly a name that carries serious weight in jazz today. Reed is one of those rare players who can make any ensemble shine, and his chemistry with Brandon is remarkable, to say the least.

Also on hand is Jazzmeia Horn, the Grammy-nominated vocalist with the voice that’s been compared to Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan. Joining forces with Sanders once again, she’s featured on two tracks, and her singular style-which combines the timeless with the futuristic-brings a whole other dimension to the music.

1. 8/4 Beat
2. Lasting Impression
3. Our Love Is Here To Stay
4. Shadowboxing
5. Tales of Mississippi
6. Soul Eyes
7. No BS for B.S.
8. Until You Come Back To Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)

This fully charged and wholly impassioned new recording opens on the sparkling 8/4 Beat and then brings us the rhythmically joyful Lasting impression, an effortless, simply heavenly, and soulfully vocalized Our Love Is Here To Stay (by Grammy-nominated vocalist Jazzmeia Horn) and then we are gifted the low-slung ambiance of Shadowboxing.

Up next is the scintillating Tales of Mississippi which is itself backed astutely by the languishing soft beauty of Soul Eyes, the new set rounding out on the upbeat and playfully perky No BS for B.S., coming to an all too soon close on another smoothly vocalized masterpiece from Horn, Until You Come Back To Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do).
